Recruiting people with knee and/ or hip osteoarthritis and experience with therapeutic exercise for an expert panel

[nicholasberesic]

The Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) Rehabilitation Discussion Group is conducting a research study to develop recommendations and practical resources to support the implementation (“putting into place”) of therapeutic exercise for people with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis. The research study involves:

a) Developing an international panel of experts including health care professionals, researchers, exercise providers and people with experience of therapeutic exercise for knee and/ or hip osteoarthritis

b) Asking the panel experts to develop up to 10 statements about the implementation of therapeutic exercise for people with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis

c) Asking the panel experts to agree which are the most important statements via three surveys

If you are interested in being involved, please consider completing a very brief screening questionnaire to see if you are eligible: is.gd/oastatements

Please note that this invitation and survey will only be open until the 30th September 2020.

Sorry about that one

All good. I know I'm an outlier with hip OA at 41. But I'm definitely active, and do prescribed stretches and exercises given to me by my physical therapist, which is why I wanted to participate. I hope you get some good data!
